Just making a point. Nothing beyond that.

With Covid, those other sides are getting people severely sick and killing them. It's not mere disagreement, but rather an issue of life and death. Literally.

In "real life" it's a life and death thing. On RF, we just discuss our agreements and disagreements. Unfortunately, our opinions are taken as a "life and death" issue (aka taken too seriously).

I don't remember facts and figures. That aside, though, I don't know where I disagreed with any person here relating to the seriousness of COVID, deaths, types of precautions, and the like.

Is there a way you can reference where I disagreed with you guys opinions about the severity of COVID, deaths, etc?

I defended him by saying people were negative to his original OP. It had nothing to do with the context of his post. It was as is.

Because he has an established reputation here. No, we don't actually really know for sure, but fool me once and twice and all that.

I don't know about you, but I'm a real person with a real life in the real world. I assume that is at least 99% of the members here.
Why should RF assume the very real risk of someone reading information here that can make themselves or others severely ill or kill them? For brick and mortar establishments thats a law suit waiting to happen.
And, fyi and btw, its against the rules here to tell people to quit taking their meds, go against doctors advice, or other potentially dangerous things regarding health.

In other words, ideas and opinions here aren't life and death. We have a plethora of morals overlap. So, it would be wrong, for example, that I tell people on RF they don't care about others if they decide not to practice social distancing. I don't know their situation, their morals, who they are around, their experiences, or anything that would lead me to judge whether or not what they did was wrong. All I have is a opinion (or so have you). I can agree or disagree with it or be indifferent, but at the end, it isn't a life and death thing unless we take it that way.

from it or with it?

With. Good and bad advice with covid is literally a matter of life and death. From false cures and preventions to calling it a flu or hoax, bad info is playing a very powerful role in driving America's abysmal covid response and high case and fatality rate.

Strictly from Covid 19 with no other contributing health conditions?

I'm having trouble understanding why this is important to you, unless you are desperately trying to find a way to make COVID-19 itself seem not dangerous, so you don't have to worry about it any more.

The problem with co-morbities is that lots of people have them, there are several kinds (including just your blood type!), and those people are in serious trouble if they catch COVID. Dead is dead, whether you were obese or had high blood pressure, or type A blood. And if you would have gotten along just fine with those co-morbidities (as most people do these days), then for all practical purposes, COVID killed you.

That or toddlers bickering because they feel their peer purposely stole their favorite toy. Also reminds me more of a mouse not letting go of what they perceive as bait and gets themselves trapped in a cage. Then blame the person they thought put the bait in front of them.

No, not still a "no." But your response suggests I was correct in what's driving you about this topic. You need a denial, so you've manufactured one.

But have it your way. And hey, maybe Derek Chauvin can use this defense when his trial for the killing of George Floyd comes up. He can just claim, "hey, it wasn't my knee that killed him -- it was the lack of oxygen to his brain. Totally different issue."

To see how that analogy is actually very good, just Google "how COVID-19 kills."
